The Map Manifesto Draft

The current system for TTRPG map is fundamentaly broken.

  • No good way for users or creators to access all their maps and subscriptions
  • Platforms take large percentages from creators while providing mediocre support
  • No easy way for creators to protect their libraries

What is this nonsense about

This page servers as a first draft for what the website will be about. However it also serves the purpose of learning to dockerize svelte. If you are seeing this I have not figured it out yet.

Back in summer 2021 I had an idea of a site actually for artists. Inspired by drivers.coop in NYC, a mission to make a place where the goal is to keep as much of the money in creators pockets. A goal to target sustainability and longterm thinking without shareholders and such.

Focused on building a proper lasting ecosytem. A more symbiotic relationship between the site and the creators as a site is nothing without them. So why try to piss them off?

What effort is being made

A protoype has been made, a map serving website you could subscribe to creators and manage a easy shared library of all your favorites. A improved version is being developed and I plan to release more detail soon. This site serves as a test of setting up CI/CD for a site.

This site will be using a fully opensource stack that is host agnositc in order to minimize cost. Taking the effort to build sound systems that are affordable yet reliable. I understand these are lofty claims and I ask nothing from you,I mearly hope my actions prove I truly intend to honor my words. Thank you for reading.
